Bacterial infections are associated with low income status, not news but has important implications for antibiotic stewardship. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Socioeconomic status and the risk for colonisation or infection with priority bacterial pathogens: a global evidence map
Low socioeconomic status likely exacerbates risks for bacterial infections; however, global evidence for this relationship has not been synthesised. We systematically reviewed the existing literature for studies detailing the socioeconomic status of participants and their risk for colonisation or community-acquired infection with priority bacterial pathogens that are increasingly becoming antibiotic resistant. 50 studies from 14 countries reported outcomes by the participants’ educational attainment, access to health care, income level, residential crowding status, socioeconomic status deprivation score, community setting, or access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.
